As we move through the quiet period of the NFL offseason, one team is garnering a lot of attention in the Super Bowl betting world. The Houston Texans are currently the top bet team for victory, making sportsbooks nervous due to the significant amount of money being placed on them. In fact, about 35% of the Super Bowl betting handle is on the Texans at this point.
Despite being tied with the Dallas Cowboys for the eighth-lowest odds to win the Super Bowl at +1600, the Texans have been attracting a lot of interest from bettors. They are trailing behind teams like the San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Bengals, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills in terms of odds.
The Texans had a remarkable turnaround in the 2022 season, going from winning only three games to finishing with a 10-7 record. This improvement can be attributed to their strategic moves, such as hiring DeMeco Ryans as their head coach and drafting quarterback C.J. Stroud, who went on to win Rookie of the Year with impressive stats.
Furthermore, the Texans made significant additions to their roster during the offseason, bringing in veteran skill players like wide receiver Stefon Diggs and running back Joe Mixon. They also bolstered their defense by acquiring pass-rusher Danielle Hunter, who had an outstanding season with 16.5 sacks and 80 quarterback pressures.
The Texans’ success story has caught the attention of NFL fans and analysts alike, with many eager to see how they will perform in the upcoming season. With a strong roster and promising talent, the Texans are definitely a team to watch out for in the race to the Super Bowl.
